  2. Epiphyseal plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphyseal_plate

    The epiphyseal plate, epiphysial plate, physis, or growth plate is a hyaline cartilage plate in the metaphysis at each end of a long bone.It is the part of a long bone where new bone growth takes place; that is, the whole bone is alive, with maintenance remodeling throughout its existing bone tissue, but the growth plate is the place where the long bone grows longer (adds length).

  3. Hyaline cartilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyaline_cartilage

    Hyaline cartilage is located in the trachea, nose, epiphyseal plate, sternum, and ribs. [2] Hyaline cartilage is covered externally by a fibrous membrane known as the perichondrium. [2] The primary cells of cartilage are chondrocytes, which are in a matrix of fibrous tissue, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans.

  4. Ossification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossification

    The epiphyseal arteries and osteogenic cells invade the epiphysis, depositing osteoclasts and osteoblasts which erode the cartilage and build bone, respectively. This occurs at both ends of long bones but only one end of digits and ribs. Microscopic image of the growth plate

  5. Long bone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_bone

    The longitudinal growth of long bones is a result of endochondral ossification at the epiphyseal plate. Bone growth in length is stimulated by the production of growth hormone (GH), a secretion of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

  6. Endochondral ossification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endochondral_ossification

    Epiphyseal growth plate: This transverse layer lies between the epiphysis and diaphysis. It’s composed of highly active chondrocytes and responsible for longitudinal bone growth. Consequently, the bone elongates at this growth plate until closure occurs at skeletal maturity.

  7. Ossification center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossification_center

    At the end of the formation of the secondary ossification center, the only two areas where the cartilage remains is at the articular cartilage covering the epiphysis and at the epiphyseal plate between the epiphysis and diaphysis. [3] A schematic for long bone endochondral ossification: [4]

  9. Triradiate cartilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triradiate_cartilage

    The triradiate cartilage (in Latin cartilago ypsiloformis) is the Y-shaped epiphyseal plate between the ilium, ischium and pubis to form the acetabulum of the os coxae. Human development [ edit ]
